Future Weapons: MV-22 OSPREY 1/2

[jigfar7]

splintercell

[Young16654]

i luv at 3:08 when he reads off the paper lol

[TopShadowProductions]

@Young16654 He's not reading off a paper,he's counting out the perks."Speed(one finger) Payload(two fingers) And range(third finger)

[KoolKatBlackJack]

I wish this show was still running :(

[Whitehorze]

@MrJurongwest The rotors are linked by a driveshaft in case of engine failure. It's another safety feature borrowed from the chinook design.

The crash at murano was caused by the rotor pitch control gears stripping out. Thus the rotor blades went to neutral while the other rotor was pushing air. That design was beefed up and those parts were given a higher maintence priority in the newer version.

[Trustisaliability]

A few weapons and that could be the new hind :D

[Dude1337jeeb]

Impressive aircraft

[jjones5411]

Harrier Jump jet anyone?

[Norgesmann]

@jjones5411 Are you kidding? Are you comparing a fighterplane with vertical takeoff capabilities and room for 1 pilot to a tiltwing who is meant for troop transport?

[steel939]

Next thing you know the russians are gonna have a tilt-rotor

[scoutbr00]

This guy is a total asshole, he makes drama about everything... I prefer R. Lee Ermey, way more humoristic and quick.

[ezzybro1]

@jeremiahpttn or like the one in gi joe lol

[ezzybro1]

it can pick up the archer...

[froogle76]

zmanabc1234

if one of the engines go out the other supporting nacelle engine can power both nacelles and the rotors

[dontmakemeMAD1990]

one of these was crashed somme days ago:(

[YeuLaKho]

cool airplane

[zmanabc1234]

theres a big problem though if one engine goes out your ROYALLY screwed

[JeremiahPTTN]

Now they just need to come up with a jet powered version... Something similar to the pelican drop-ships in halo. The Osprey is a great first step though; but I can't wait to see what the military comes out with in the next decade or so.

[grinch8302]

@micromanrsking man the javelin is a nato weapon and not a threat the pavelow was my dream aircraft when i was learning to fly but for long range troop transport and csar this is an amazing tool for the trade

[douker]

lol alikazam

[DarthVantos]

Reminds me of an early pelican for some reason lol

[duckieebeatd0wn]

@micromanrsking

terrorists dont have javelins.

srsly, this crap's realife. believe me, i love video games but this shit has nothin to do with real life.

[silvershines]

finally, someone who played COD and isn't affected like it... seriously I detest hardcore COD players they seem to think EVERYTHING in COD is 100% real (e.g assets used like in COD) and think they are some hardcore military fan.

[silvershines]

Oh btw the thing that pisses me off is the fact that, in nearly every future weapon video. There's a COD fan commenting it and comparing it to the game.

[dontmakemeMAD1990]

@silvershines the worst plague is at one of the ac130 vids

seriously one of those comments is like thumd up 13 times

i thumped down:)

seriously eh he getted a 13 kill eh did he get in airpackage

wtf woud be wrong whit those idiots?

[MaCakeAndCandi]

The V-22 is for troop transport LIKE the pavelow pave low is a troop transport NOT like in COD

[sofud485]

What this needs is 2 or 4 miniguns

[Jacklufc97]

Fuck osprey get the pave low back

[bunker931]

Too much COD for you, kid.

[Armeddragon77]

the Pavelow was retired from the airfoce, and replaced by the Osprey. They are not meant to be attack aircraft, but for search and rescue as well as Spec.Ops.

[USMChuck]

because it can fly higher than a normal rotorywing aircraft it wont have to stand up to an rpg.

[TheLastSliceOfPie]

is this what killed the pave low?

[ThePloxo]

ALAKAZAAM!!!

[ThePloxo]

The US Military is so exciting! What will we come up with next?! Whatever it is, it's certain to be better than anything the enemy has :) WE just kick ass hands down

[professorquack]

haha it's funny that people use games as fact. the osprey came out in the 80's but its sucked.

[steelhelmetleast]

It's a nice bird... but what will it do?

[davvvvo]

i like they in half life 1 whit the grunts

[TuringOracle]

Yeah, the Vertibird that first appeared in Fallout 2 (made in about 1997) was inspired by the Osprey, AFAIK, but the cockpit design is more in line with the Soviet Hind gunship helicopter.

[FreedomMerk]

fuck u asshole. what kind of name is SahMai anyways? u dirty aRab fuck, alah is a fag and so r u

[SahMai]

I hope they all crash to the ground and kill all the soldiers.

[crocodiledavid]

fall out 3 wasn't even out at the time of this post.....

[CommandantNOVA]

exactly! that's what he is saying!

[Nightmare297]

Wow that looks JUST like a Vertibird from Fallout 3. I wonder if this is where they got the idea. Other than that, nice heli/plane

[kekeke01]

you are a fucking idiot.

[soldier4144]

Yeah bro, they got the idea from fallout 3 considering they have been working on them for 20 years now and Fallout 3 has been around for that long too.

[Helge129]

@Nightmare297: LOL? It is much rather the opposite.

[MrSeshiro]

They are testin something dont worry

[LilATL94]

Great aircraft. But I was wondering if they ever gonna modify it a bit with some weaponry. Since there is a VTOL, has anyone come up with the idea for Valkryies (From Macross) or BattleMechs (From whatever, example, MechWarrior). Come to think of it. "Transformation"

[sturnfield7783]

And the Skyranger from UFO:Enemy Unknown. The Triton from XCOM 2:Terror from the Deep

[sturnfield7783]

But then that's 14 max troops

[ihateforigners]

The rotors almost look small for helicopter rotors and really big for airplane props. LOL

[crhrocket22]

gregrutz: When was the last time one crashed? Oh, thats right 2001, since then, they have made changes to the aircraft and to TTP's. It has deployed to Iraq several times and been all around the world. Do some research instead of jumping on the bandwagon.

[OldSnakeKonovesis]

you are right!

[ThebanPhalanx]

That's funny, considering how America's main economy are from selling and manufacturing guns and armour (vehicles). They achieve this by starting wars, conquering places, etc... Improved weapons technology is not a waste of money, it will prove more profitable.

[firtthegreat]

when those rotors are tilting, its pretty much a sitting duck isnt it?

[Tsojekim]

nope, it tilts it a little, flies forward, tilts more, flies faster forward, the faster it gets, the more the wings take over, and the more it can swing the rotors more, and done,

[MIKEEC]

how is it a sitting duck?

[firtthegreat]

oh no my bad, i thought it was like the harrier. had to remain stationary when its taking off.

[DeltaPhi79]

It may be smaller but don't we have the stuff with the Harrier jet?

[TheGatman101]

harrier can do vertical takeoff... but it cant carry 24 troops or armored vehicles in2 combat

[DeltaPhi79]

I know that I just meant with the flight.

[R74W2]

hopefully next they make a pelican

[cowboyman35]

now just notice that if one engine fails......they all die

[crhrocket22]

Actually, there are driveshafts that run from one engine to the opposite rotor, so it can still fly with one engine.

[95predator]

for that reason i would put the rotors closer together...

[BAYCITYAIRSOFT]

I can see a gunship version coming out in the future.

[nosirrom5]

we should make a gunship version of that

[utting54]

to small

[nosirrom5]

It's bigger than the apache

[poppyseeded]

Thunder Chickens oh kinda like thunder cats, a regular pilot can't fly one of these things you need to be born a V-22 pilot... baptism by fire huh ra

[meeresarmgecko]

3:40 HalakaWHAT!?

[pashkovich]

Halakazam :)

[meeresarmgecko]

do you know what it means??

[pashkovich]

It's a word that often illusionists say before make a trick :)

[D4LL2KY]

instead of prepellers why dont they just put jets on them like the F-35 or the hearier it would look more cooler like the HKs of off terminator

[BigSwede7403]

Not sure, but my guess would be debris. When these comes in for a landing they kick up a lot of dust and junk which can be murder on a jet engine, while a prop is no way near as vulnerable. Come to think of it, Prop planes tend to have a smaller heat signature for AA missiles to lock on to, which is something which is real usefull for this vehicle. Mind you, these are guesses

[Forrestman69]

But the engine is a jet, just a turbo shaft. so will have a large heat signature.

[TehBlackFox]

The rotors on a helicopter push down air to produce lift. the larger the rotors, the larger the lift (see the chinook, with it's oversized rotors).

Jets produce thrust by exhausting hot gasses after combustion.

So in order to get more lift, more fuel has to be burned to sustain hovering, thus they tend to have a low fuel efficiency. For a single seat aircraft (F-35) that's okay, but it's not (yet) feasible for transports, as the payload would be minimal and extra fuel has to be carried along.

[orca1234321]

cuz prepellers can land on grass an dirt air strips an jet engines can not do that cuz a rock in the an jet engine an it toasted so that why.

[MI6CORPORAL]

because, the propellers work, and the jets would take alot more gas then the props, and therefore, you would have to sacrifice cargo capacity for fuel.

[coollui510]

i seen da real plane/helicopter b4 sounds jus lik a helicopter

[bnuttsgee]

saw two flying in nj yesterday thell be at teleburo airport and migure this weekend

[DooMGuy117]

Even though i'm a civilian, i managed to see this aircraft first hand (due to Marine Week in Chicago). simply amazing aircraft, and, based on what the flight crew and other marines there said, they LOVE it. idk where people are getting the idea that it's retarted.

[Truthfinda]

I heard that there's been quite a few deaths, mainly of troops jumpin out the back & being sucked into the rotor blades. They don't like it so I hear & who can blame them?

[tacticsbullets]

The military has tried to cancel this thing 12 times or so, but its one of those "pork" projects you hear about. They don't want it, but congress won't let them cancel it.

[crhrocket22]

Dude where did you hear that?  That is not only impossible, its retarded, Im gonna be flying it by the end of this year at New River, NC. If anything it would push people down--hence the term downwash, the prop-rotors push air down, not up.

[lynxian]

60 minutes did a show about the problems with the Osprey. Can't recall anything about jumping out the back and all that but apparently, several people have died from malfunctioning ospreys.

[Truthfinda]

quite a while ago now on a doc. I'll see if i can find it for you & post the title. Its not the sort of thing the govt wants a lot of publicity about whether its true or not. Atleast you're not jumpin out the back of it, have fun flyin it.

[Karrimor15]

Would be awesome if the props were jets instead

thats would be AWESOME

[taigeto]

this is the enclave vertibird

americans always have the better toys

[Karrimor15]

HELLOOO

[defcon2xramm]

osprey will fuck the enemy

[Dutchdrummer99]

Hmm. A Black Hawk Unit cost $5.9 million, One Osprey costs $68 million.

Comparison; -Osprey

Max speed: 351 mph, 565 km/h

Cruise speed: 277 mph, 446 km/h

Combat radius: 430 mi, 690 km - Black Hawk

Speed Max; 222 mph, 357 km/h

Cruise speed: 173 mph, 278 km/h

Combat radius: 320 nmi, 592 km

Seems like a conventional Helicopter like the Black Hawk has a much better price. You can buy 12 Black Hawks for 1 Osprey. Even though it`s better in payload, speed and range, It`s not a good deal.

[taco8420]

we dont need the osprey right now. we should wait until the technology is mastered and it becomes cheaper to make.

[abgefahren2007]

who is "we"?

[taco8420]

"we" are the taxpayers who fund these expensive projects when theres aircraft currently availabe that are proven safer and still get the job done. I like the osprey and what it brings, but its not needed right now.

[ScottFreeRJH]

Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 SOF and USMC MEU(SOC) unit have been after these aircraft for the past 15 years and they are the dream insertion platforms for special forces.

[solimaniv]

great episode dude

[Acrimony01]

Great niche weapon. One of the best special forces weapons available.

[Lastchristmas21]

XD

3:08

never remember his script

I think he's write a little script in his hand

nice vid

[sweed183]

I have heard some shity things about this plane

[uKnowMeAs01]

I wanna know what the lift co-efficient of those wings are, they're tiny XD

[arkinoth]

It's a try to get a Pelican (halo). It's got the same concept...

[niloangelo84]

Im am currently on the USS Bataan LHD 5 and i will tell you the osprey has been in service for almost 3 years i have been on 2 deployments with them with no incidents and yea its take off is scary these pilots do DLQ's(Deck Landing Quals) with us all the time the US navy and Marines have put alot into its design

[monimstarfox]

your a brave man sir and you have earned my respect thank you for serving i cant wait to do my time

[hitide286]

..and so have all of the US taxpayers, the thing is a piece of crap, it took over 20years and billions to build this boondoggle for the Marines..soon all the budgets will be cut. How come you nevr mentioned what a gas hog this thing is.

Just more proof how out of control the US military is..talk about watse..

[crhrocket22]

tychoc4:

Any Idea how many harriers and hornets have crashed during their development? Its normal for anything to crash during development. Lay off the CNN and read something.

[hitide286]

yeah, but not for 20 years.!!!

[tychoc4]

Transforms from good idea to flaming wreckage in 4.2 seconds.

[sargon08]

MV-22 OSPREY Capacity: 24 troops (seated),

Maximum speed: 275 knots (316 mph, 509 km/h)

Range: 879 nmi (1,011 mi, 1,627 km)!!

i dont know if there is any Helicopter that can do that ??

[psypholicious]

errrrrmmm chinook?

[XKS99]

chinook:

Speed 198 mph

Range 400 nmi

Not even close. Go Osprey!

[psypholicious]

chinook's old u tit plus it can actually defend itself. its got 3 guns this has 1 :L

[Rebellious91101]

psypholicious- BAE systems is developing a new turret that goes under the belly of the Osprey. Supposedly that will be the aircrafts defense in combat.

[psypholicious]

good for you

[Rebellious91101]

phypholicious- I know it's awesome. lol

[psypholicious]

if you want

[crhrocket22]

There is also a gun in the works, do a search for osprey gun, its a belly mounted minigun 7.62.

[shadowshieldnet]

While being one of the most amazing and beautiful aircraft ever built, it will take a very long time to remove the fear factor from the pilots and troops sitting in the back.

I have a friend who has been in these, and I'm told it is a more horrific experience than being in the heat of battle. Every moment you worry about a crash, and remember the long history of deadly accidents caused a failed design.

I personally think they are almost there, but lets wait until the design is perfected.

[nayte1]

i hear there is alot of concern about a lack of forward mounted weapons too. Other than a door gunner in back they are unarmed.

[crhrocket22]

No, they are still being used, I selected them out of primary flight school in Oct. It can drive both prop rotors with one engine. so the only reason to autorotate would be if both engines failed.

[babypwet]

the osprey has no auto gyration. it cannot fly on one prop horizontally and will belly up on one prop on the vertical. As they say if it don't leak oil the marines don't want it.

[theoazn]

Isn't the Harrier the same thing except its more like a jet?

[loveryoda]

harrier has different function. it is jet fighter. osprey is more like transportation.

by the way, is us military stilling using osprey today? i heard it had too many accident.

[theoazn]

Yeah, i think they're don't with the osprey.

[nayte1]

Yes, They have deployed some Osprey's to Iraq but are using them only in safe situations and probably wisely avoiding dangerous areas.

[CMDRFandragon]

1:58 was kewl lol

[ericssson]

MV-22 is serious crap.

[Miserak]

hey, just like in transformers!

[azzhole543]

but the bad thing with the tilt roter is if its un balencet u will crash

[Nasty0suicide]

Wonder when they are going to make a big jet type vertical take off and landing plane, like the f35.

[okslauqk]

at the end "as it handles the hard task ... ... to fuck(then you se the thing go into the other thing)"

[jmoreno91]

when does future weapons come out?

i never seen it for a while, i only c it on the military channel

[bunnyhallow]

it was designed to haul large amounts of cargo and troops with added range and VTOL capability but it can't drop soldiers onto a hostile territory because it lacks the maneuverability of a blackhawk which can evade RPGs and it has a gatling gun.

[earpeffect]

it can still drop troops behind hostile territory if needed. it can carry 24 combat loaded troops. it also has the capability of carrying 20,000 pounds internally and 15,000 on the external hooks. The CH-53E is still used as the Marine Corps main cargo transport chopper thanks to its 32,000 pound external lift capability.

[okslauqk]

and the howitzer

[daiceyl]

Your talking about the osprey? It's specific mission, is to drop soldiers behind enemy lines - who whole point of it is that with the forwards flight characteristics it has a longer range than a blackhawk - its designed for the beyond-the-horizon capability of the US Marines. In verticle lift mode its just as manouverable, plus has the option of a 20mm chain gun in a chin mount - plus up to 3 door guns - M240, gatling, whatever... you don't know what your on about, do you?

[ConcentrateDammit]

this reminds me of the pelican from halo

[nicholsonlai]

can you land like a glider if your 2 engines die??

tks

[flashgrim]

what if one of the engines fails, can it land on one engine?

[usmarine7599]

Yes, a few months ago in Iraq they demonstrated (inadvertently) a successful one-engine landing without any damage or injury.

[mesonofgib]

I wonder if they could make one with turboprops. Would there be any advantage?

[earpeffect]

it is. it has two turbine engines, one for each rotor

[eternalfire1244]

it is a turboprop

[runescapenrd]

It can, but if both fail you're fucked.

[flashgrim]

I kinda figured that one :0)

[zappic]

maybe because Crysis or 2142 are GAMES?

[fatbastrdslapu]

now it needs to turn into a 100ft robot

[jakehendrixman]

Kinda reminds me of the Pelican from Halo =D

[marinoshulagreise]

more like the hornet, just bigger n it isnt a flying platform or death

[AlphaWhiskey22]

I wonder...if one accurate RPG shot at the two props would take it out.

[dazllascowboys]

Awesome!

[MysticGohan127]

those from ghost in the shell are much cooler :D maybe they get them so far in the future

[ericssson]

it's fuck,n crap.

[YouNoop]

nice but need more work on it :D

[radio187]

"Alberquerque?"

[ericssson]

crap.

[cikawasay]

amazing machine, but sorry for the army toys fan, the truth is: the v22 is an incredible expensive fiasco

75 000 000 $ each

1dangerous to fly:transition is hazardous even could be a suicide in a war situation.

2 pilots wanted a nose gun, it hasn't: so no way to back fire, just a useless 7,62 on the back door.

3 unreliable: was declared "operationally unsuitable" by pentagon, and breakdown rate is 2 times high than old ch 46.v22 already killed 30 peoples .the pilots all know this...

[ujbx]

out of curiosity: how much does the standard helicopter of the marines cost that the v22 is seeking to replace?

[VaanLeonis]

harriers is out of date..

[Grannn]

Imagine if those rotors were replaced by jet engines . Crysis anyone :D ?

[nieldo999]

CRYSIS RULES!!! if only it didn't stop working on my comp :(

[tembo01]

Can it autorotate? I heard it can not. How do you crash land that?

[PadawanOsswe]

so far Ive heard good reviews about the Osprey's combat effectivness in its deployment.

hopefully the kinks have all been worked out!

[Pjuske]

first time i saw it was in Half life opp :)

hehe its cool its now a real life heli

[PahaLukki]

Beautiful

[konnigkratz]

that bill taylor forgot his lines

[RLHubner]

Man, thanks for putting these videos on youtube.

[glosroad]

what happened to harriers?

[fixdeluxe1]

i would prefer a VTOL jet

[tunakcil247]

V-22 Osprey sucks ass. The hybrid plane/helo idea is good, but this plane is absolutely horrible. One of my best buds is an aircraft mechanic for the Marines and he has to fix these things on the regular because they go down almost daily. BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY.

[FCStaehle]

Most of the military's jets go down almost every day.

[Antiworld23]

Why don't they try making a VTOL with jet engines?

Can the Osprey do rescue hoists?

[galaktar]

The problem with jet engines is that they have too much thrust over too small an area. If a harrier or a JSF tried to take off from anything softer than concrete, the thrust would literally dig/burn a hole in the ground. Using jets would severely limit the places that the Osprey could land.

[piratepike]

well, actually, the Osprey can burn a hole in asphalt, start grass fires, and break up already broken pieces of concrete as well. One of the senior pilots with VMMT-204 told me a few days ago.

i remember time turned this down. they said it was too heavy to carry a machine gun in front to lay down cover fire and the only defense it has is the machine gun in back and that requires to open the hatch. it was also turned down because the turn rate of the mechanism would create some turbulance. a hardware system faluire also caused it to either raise one foot or one yard off the ground and drop, snapping a wing off and costing a lot to repair
